Where is all the stuff that was originally in the suitcase? Or are you saying someone purposely brought a large empty suitcase with them with the intent of malice? Also, he is 5’9” and weighs Approx 170 lbs. For someone to be able to kill him, physically move him into a suitcase and then somehow contort his body to fit into even a large suitcase is a lot to do alone. Also, wheeled suitcases are not generally rated to be able to support that much weight especially not to be pulled around the ship, down through the atrium, back and forth along and down the gangway, down through the port building and then in a long line back and forth to get through customs. Also, a normal person would struggle to pull or push that much weight alone. I think that would surely draw attention. I mean, certainly anything is possible.
There's that murder of the woman in Bali (?) who was concealed in a suitcase and iirc, she was not a small person.
I think that report of the 7 am sighting must be a mistake, maybe by the reporter.
Do the cruise ships use large rolling carts to transport food and supplies onto the ship?
I’ve never been on a cruise so this is probably a really dumb question but is the scanning of the key card an entry feature only? As in there is no electronic recording system in place to track a cabin door opening in general, from both inside and out?I don't believe this article from CBS 12 News has been shared. It has some quotes from Sean McGrath, KM father.
I've not previously seen the below statement. SM is speaking on what Andre (twin brother who was sharing a room with KM) told the family. (bbm)
“He said he heard the door open anywhere from 5-7 (a.m.) because it’s dark in the room, and can’t really tell the time,” Sean recalled.
Previous MSM reports have indicated KM's card key was scanned to access the cabin room at 3:30am, so this referenced 5am - 7am time frame could have been KM leaving the room?
Estimated timeline based on varying news outlets and accompanying possible scenarios
2am: Andre confirms seeing KM in their cabin
(KM goes back out to dance, drink, etc.)
3:30am: KM's card key is scanned accessing the cabin door
(KM returns to the room)
5am - 7am: Andre hears cabin door opening.
(KM leaves the room for final time)
7:30am: Family reports KM missing.
Mystery at Sea: Port St. Lucie man seemingly vanishes aboard cruise ship, remains missing several days later
A Port St. Lucie family who spent the weekend celebrating a birthday on a cruise ship is now in the middle of a nightmare.cbs12.com
I haven't sailed on a Carnival ship since the mid-'80s, but on every cruise I've taken since the early 2000s, my photo is taken upon embarkation and matches up with my cruise card (or medallion on Princess cruises). When I leave and return to the ship, security personnel can see my photo when I scan my cruise card (or medallion). Are Carnival passengers not photographed when they board a ship? I would be very surprised if Carnival ships do not have this technology, even on an older vessel. I've seen photos of KM and his brother, and they do not look enough alike that they could pass for one another if cruise cards are matched to a photo taken at embarkation.
This is why I’m leaning heavily toward suicide. Then add in the wording on the missing poster. I think they were already concerned about him and when he didn’t show up at 7:30a they immediately knew something was wrong.
They take pics if you are using a birth certificate or new cruiser... if you use a passport, they use THAT photo now.
random--- i used to be a partier .... if i was buzzing and turning in at 3:30 a.m., no way in heck could i make a 7:30 a.m. breakfast.
